Re: does VTR1000 2001 has lambda probe?

I've no idea whether a standard exhaust on an SP has a lambda sensor; mine was non-standard.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Tried out the Abba stand with front lift attachment that I bought this week. It seems pretty stable, and although the strap device holding the rear down (on one side only) is a bit " Heath-Robinson" it works well enough. It'll make it easier to clean, having both wheels off the ground, wit...

How this works without lambda probe?
Has somebody fitted injection to the bike because no firestorm came with it as standard?
More likely to be an SP.

Do you have an SP1 or SP2?

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

I've had a pulsing vibration at wheel speed from the front discs for ages, so took my Brembo discs ( on the Aprilia) to Maidstone Motoliner a few weeks back to have them trued. But I still had pulsing, so, today I cleaned the discs using fine emery and Scotchbrite pads, and I also cleaned the pad f...

The fuel-injected Varadero engines ( which are based on the same engine) will possibly have one, but I don't know for sure.

Re: does VTR1000 2001 has lambda probe?

Not as standard. They're only needed with fuel injection systems. But I added two lambda wideband sensors in the downpipes and connected a display to show real-time air/fuel stoichiometric ratios when riding, to aid carb setup, on my tuned firestorm. It saved the cost of repeated Dyno runs whenever ...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

I think the hire company did me a favour now, the 900cc engine might be the perfect size for these type of roads on this island, where the 1200 V4 might have been too much of an animal. I have only found one road on a steep uphill climb where I didn’t have enough grunt to fire out of the turns as f...

Re: GrainStorm IX

What a difference a day makes. USB port fitted and working, tracker reconnected. Only the seat and one side panel off. Mind you, I was thinking about how to test each wire and diagnose yesterday's problems most of the night... Time for a BBQ and some cold beers :beer: 💨 Bloody Italian bikes. It'll a...

Re: GrainStorm IX

Well, considering that all I wanted to do was to replace a usb port with a new one, it turned into a day's work. https://i.postimg.cc/jwLg0nx1/PXL-20240511-115122825.jpg The display and all electrics failed shortly after I disconnected the old usb port, and resisted all attempts to get it back to wo...

Re: Removing/replacing undertray

You also need the brackets to suit the std under tray, assuming that the aftermarket one required non standard brackets. Then it's a simple process: unbolt the required sump bolts, bolt up the standard brackets, and fit the tray. Me thinks your thinking belly pan ? Yellabelly is talking about the u...
